Once one gets to the point where these two vehicles are the only choices left, there is really no poor selection that can be made. Still, there are some subtle differences between the two packages that warrants a comparison. As a final step in the decision-making process, potential customers can pay a visit to Sunset Ford Dealership located near Chicago.

As far as pricing is concerned, there is just a little difference between the Ford Edge Limited and the Edge Sport. New Edge Limiteds start off at $34,460, while a Sport will most likely come with a minimum cost of $36,460. With five year financing, a brand new Edge Sport will cost around $40 more per month.

The EPA estimated fuel economy for 2011 Edge Limiteds is listed to be 19/27 MPG City/Hwy. A 2011 Edge Sport gets gas mileage which is advertised at 18/25 mpg. The disparity here is fairly negligible. Drivers who spend most of their time on the highway may be slightly more inclined to select a Limited.

One of the primary variances between the two models is in the engine.  Edge Limited has a 3.5-liter V6 and Sports come equipped with a slightly larger 3.7-liter V6. The 3.5-liter Edge produces 285 and 3.7-liters account for 305 horsepower. This is going to create a slight acceleration and towing advantage in favor of Edge Sport. Drivers will have to determine for themselves if the larger engine is a desirable feature.

There is a notable difference that concerns the vehicles’ transmissions as well. In 2011, Ford Edge has three types of available transmissions. Edge Limited comes with the middle tier option, which is a six-speed SelectShift automatic version. Sports have the top-of-the-line six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with paddle activation.
